Muddy Waters

Mannish boy
everything
gonna be alright.

Blues guitar
speaks strum
rhythm
and truth
realities of he.

I am
the greatest
man
a child
oh boy
i am a man.

Ain't that
a man
on beat.

Day: Damian'' by Kevin Mireles

Sleeping
within
delicate
dark wonders,

Warm womb
of docile
waters,
intimate
sound waves.

Eyes tender
embrace
light,

Tiny lips
seek
a taste
of life.

Live

As I approach
the speed of life,
I realize
that my radiance of light
is relative,
as if it bears heavily
to my state of shine.

Whether it is god bless
or divinely undermined
its essence is found gaining progression
from stagnant silent
to a melodized
halleluiach vibration
'I am I-Light to Life.'

Live Light'' by. Kevin Mireles

As I approach
the speed of life
I realize
that my radiance of light
is relative;
as if it bears heavily
to my state of shine.

Whether it be god-bless,
or divinely undermined,
its essence is found
gaining progression
from stagnant silent
to a melodic
halleluiach vibration;
I am I,
light to Life.

Beautiful Baby: Peace of Mind'' by. Kevin Mireles

She is 9 months
overdue.
Tossing and turn
rituals
every lunar sky.

Subdued
by her infinite
hallucinations
of giving birth,
a sleeplessness
is born behind her eyes.

Smothered
in silent pillows
remembering,
she conceives
how only his simple kiss
has ever felt right,

Good Morning: Awaken on Sunday

Sunday
coffee
alongside
a crowded
collection
of newspaper
conversations.

Toasted
bread scent
fills
the bedroom,
sunlight
undresses
the day
through
the bay window.
sluggish
uncombed

Guitar Askew'' by. Kevin Mireles

Standing here
in the darkness
hidden before
an unknowing
audience,
one image
prevails;

That of
a blemished
instrument
whose varnish
chipped body
and fret-less neck
maligns
underneath
the uncovering touch
of the spotlight,

My pseudo stance,

Untitled: Sentiment

I sense
a growing
depression
upon my conscious,
it is forming
an imprint
on my mind
with images
surpassed,
heavily weighted
with regret
and ego,

I know
my body
shows signs
of its toll
but I cant
seem to let go
of seasons lost,

Blacktop Kiss'' by. Kevin Mireles

On a casual weekday,
with a gentle breeze
and somber sun,
strong-versus-weak
world of kickball
fields and blacktop,
I learn
of playground cruelty
from a face splat!

Strolling
from the equipment shed
to the
tether-ball ring,
careless
candy-thoughts
wandering
through my
elementary mind,
I make an oblivious
